Targeting AdSense Ads to Make More Money

December 25th, 2007 at 04:19pm Under Google AdSense

Google AdSense has added the ability for publishers to target their AdSense ads to the content they think best suits their site so ads shown on their sites should only show relevant AdSense ad units.

Many sites have a lot of recurring content: headers, menu, footers and anything else you might find on every page of a site.

This can cause problems for your SERPs (diluting your keyword rich content) and the relevancy of your AdSense ads.

For example this site has a variety of content including a few posts about the World of Warcraft Gold and Leveling guides and I see a lot of ads that match this content on pages that have nothing to do with this content.

WordPress Theme Connections with Google AdSense

August 15th, 2006 at 09:18am Under Google AdSense+ WordPress Themes

Update: I no longer update Connections on this site, however I’ve created a new much better theme at Connections Reloaded with AdSense/SEO. Connections Reloaded with AdSense/SEO includes better SEO Optimization, better AdSense options and full widget and tag support. February 2009

Connections is my second AdSense converted WordPress theme. Like the first theme I converted, Blix, it uses 3 blended Google AdSense units per page in what I think are the best locations (without ruining the feel of a blog).

The first screenshot shows the home page of Internet PT which I used to edit this WordPress theme (may not be using it now). You can see two of the three AdSense ad units in the screenshot, the third unit is located at the bottom (336×280 rectangle ad unit).

WordPress Theme Blix with Google AdSense (Now 2.5 Compatible)

August 13th, 2006 at 08:20am Under Google AdSense+ WordPress Themes

Against my better judgement I’ve updated my old version 02 of Blix with AdSense and SEO to WordPress 2.5 compatible. Added widget support, tag support and fixed several code bugs that ruins the original Blix theme when used with WordPress 2.5 (WordPress 2.3+ actually).

Although I’ve updated the SEO version of the Blix theme (download link below) to work with WordPress 2.5 I’ve not added the same SEO improvements I added to my paid for AdSense themes at Google AdSense SEO Themes and Templates. Also the AdSense options are not as good.

AdSense Tips

May 8th, 2006 at 12:31pm Under Affiliate Marketing+ Google AdSense+ Make Money

Time I gave some AdSense tips.

I own a quite a lot of web sites running AdSense ads, but most of them are relatively new (like this site as I type this) or not fully developed yet (creating content etc… takes time). Even so I make quite a bit of money from Google’s AdSense program and I expect this to increase significantly over the next 12 months as new sites climb out of the Google sandbox.

I started with AdSense end of Feb 2004 with my literature sites. I did everything WRONG because I didn’t consider AdSense revenue important.

AdSense Tip: take some time to research how the AdSense program works for others.
